I hate all these #surveillance #cameras in the streets. And the ones used for ringing the #door.

“Smash your #Ring doorbells,” progressive activist Guy Christensen urged his 3.5 million followers on TikTok (sic). “You need to smash your Ring doorbells. Amazon owns Ring, and they’ve decided to begin sharing surveillance collected from your front step with ICE and Flock Safety, weaponing surveillance against the American people.”

@twrling Any recommendations from the Mastodon community for moving away from #Ring to a different smart doorbell product? Motion detection and ability to answer from anywhere are what we appreciate about Ring, but there must be a self hosted or privacy respecting 3rd party option somewhere?

After an incredibly frustrating call with Lorex support in which they wanted me to get another phone, find a transformer, and talk to anyone else in the house, I finally got my non-cloud, non-subscription doorbell to work by uninstalling all the security software on my phone, resetting the doorbell without its SD card, and finally rebooting my router, and cursing a lot.
